Windows 7: New taskbar in 7 moves launch icons around

I like the look and many of the functions of the new task bar. But, one thing I'm having trouble with is finding a quick launch icon. In Vista, the quick launch buttons were all to one side and, within their area, always in the same location so I could find, say, the Photoshop icon quickly.
Now, if my Photoshop quick launch icon is to the right of my windows explorer icon, even if I group all my explorer processes, opening just one process pushes the PS icon to the right - making it harder to locate.
And, if the QL icon is on the far right of the bar, it might get pushed to the 2nd row.

That did it. Thanks, MacGyvr.
I had been there, but all I saw was the grouping, not the elimination of the lable.
And, Airbot, QL is enabled. I don't recall if I enabled it myself or if it was enabled when I used Windows Easy Transfer - which worked amazingly well.

I keep my taskbar at the bottom of the screen, using W7 64b, HP fully updated. It seems like occasionally I'll click on a folder on the taskbar, maybe accidentally drag and right-click, (I can't replicate how exactly), but the whole taskbar will end up getting moved to the top of the...

I'm not talking about pinning it to the taskbar... I only want it in the quick launch menu.

Quick Launch to TaskbarIn Vista I was able to put Folders into the Quick Launch bar but with 7 I can only pin the programme icons and not a folder. Is there any mods about that would enable me to pin folders to the Taskbar?
Many thanks
